Murray speaks after straight sets win over Kyrgios...

On Kyrgios’ challenge: “The first set was tight, but I managed to get the break at 6-5.

“The second set was obviously more comfortable, he (Kyrgios) lost his focus.

“In the third set I was able to dictate a lot of the rallies and I got the early break.”

On the expectations placed on him at Wimbledon: “Every year I play here it’s the same. I always try my best to win my matches and go as deep as possible.

“I play Tsonga next who is a top grass court player and I’m going to have to be at my best.”

On Tsonga, who he’s played twice before at SW19: “You can learn from the matches you play against him, but every match is different in individual sport and if you put in a bad performance you can easily lose.

“I need to concentrate on my performances and if I play like I did today then I’ll have a chance.”
